U.S., New Zealand And Australia Partner To Secure Global Supply Chain
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano will travel to New Zealand and Australia on Feb. 20-25 to meet with her international counterparts and build on the Department’s new partnership with the World Customs Organization (WCO).
The Partnership was announced by Secretary Napolitano and WCO Secretary General Kunio Mikuriya in Brussels last month and is designed to build partnerships with other nations, international bodies and the private sector to increase the security of the global supply chain.
In New Zealand, Secretary Napolitano will visit Christchurch.
There she will participate in the U.S.-New Zealand Partnership Forum and underscore the important partnership between our countries to strengthen security and facilitate global trade and commerce.
In Australia, Secretary Napolitano will visit Brisbane, Canberra, and Sydney.
The Secretary will meet with Australian counterparts and discuss the continued collaboration between the United States and Australia to make the global supply chain system stronger, smarter and more resilient.
They will look for ways to expand information sharing to better combat terrorism and other transnational crimes and coordinate on emergency management.
